Civil case taken against council over explosion at City Hall

Civil case taken against council over explosion at City Hall: Civil proceedings are expected to be taken against the Galway City Council in the near future in relation to an explosion at City Hall in June 2010, it emerged yesterday.

The move comes following confirmation that an investigation by the Health and Safety Authority has been completed and the authority does not plan any further action against the council under health and safety legislation. The HSA also sent a file to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which has decided not to pursue a prosecution in relation to the incident.

It is understood the explosion was caused by a boiler and the part of the building where the boiler was located sustained extensive damage in the blast.
